Hello Conrad,

thank you for your reply. Attached is a test file that is causing problems in ChimeraX (see below for the log). This testfile is a cut-down version of the original file (containing informations on docking scores from GOLD suite) that was created in Chimera by saving it as mol2 file and manually removing the zeros in line 8, as Chimera was sanitizing this line upon saving. If I add the two zeros in the original file, ChimeraX was loading the structures successfully, still complaining about the metainformations though.

I'm using version 0.9 (2019-03-12) of Chimera X on Win10 (1809) and was using Chimera 1.13.1 to generate the testfile.

Thank you and best regards,

Marco

Hi, Marco.

Can you send me the file that is causing the problem?  When I change a working Mol2 file to remove those two fields, I get a few error messages but the molecules are opened.  I'm concerned that some other error is preventing import of your file.

Dear ChimeraX Team,

when I try to load structure outputs of docking runs in .mol2 format into ChimeraX, it fails to load them, while the same can be imported by Chimera successfully. After a bit of playing around I found that the following section is relevant and fails in this format:

@<TRIPOS>MOLECULE
MYCOOLMOLECULE
     57    62     1
SMALL
USER_CHARGES

The problem seems to be that ChimeraX requires explicit definitions of /#features/ and/#sets/ in the third line (apart from /#atoms #bonds #substructures/), while they are typically omitted in most programs. So the following lines could be imported:

@<TRIPOS>MOLECULE
MYCOOLMOLECULE
     57    62     1  0  0
SMALL
USER_CHARGES

Can this case be addressed in a future version of ChimeraX?

Thank you in advance,

Marco
